You are correct that extending collective barganing to public employees is bogus, but the fact still remains that the US was still stuck in the ravages of the “Great Depression” when JFK took office, and was headed to economic shutdown, until his tax cut allowed industrial expansion to begin. Prior to that we were living in the remains of a war economy that was falling on its face.
You are saying that the 1945 to early 1960s economy was in shambles before JFK saved us?
